EP. #183: Why inspiration won't get you to your weight goal, and what will

Description
Do you get derailed from your efforts to lose weight because you lose your inspiration?  How do you stay on track long enough to get results? So often, people ask me how to stay inspired to eat right and lose weight.  Many people believe that inspiration is what you need to be successful, but that’s a fallacy.  Sure, inspiration is great! It feels good, and it makes doing certain things easier.  For a little while.  The problem is that you CAN’T stay inspired for very long, no matter how well things are going.  Maybe you can stay inspired to do something for a week or a month, but if you want to lose weight and keep it off, that won’t get you there. That’s exactly why diets fail. Because when you start a new diet, you’re excited by the newness of it and the hope that this diet will be different.  But when you start to get weary of the stress of food restriction, your inspiration leaves, and so does your adherence to the diet. Establishing positive, healthy eating habits is the secret to success.  Because once you establish good habits, staying on track is effortless most of the time.  Inspiration really is more of an emotion, and our emotions are fleeting.  We simply can’t be inspired all the time.  So when your inspiration tank runs out, how do you stay on track?  How do you lose weight and keep it off? Tune in to learn why you can’t depend on inspiration to get you to your goals, but what really does work!  If the habit you want to change is emotional eating, check out my free video masterclass, kick your emotional eating habit for good. You can find it on my website or in the show notes.
